Knowing that crowds are draws for both pickpockets and mass casualty attacks, as an example, is an indication that you might need to carry your wallet and ID in a non-traditional place and also have some idea about the telltale signs of a bomb being planted.
...Being willing to put in the time and effort to preplan and train; being prepared to use whatever means available to escape, evade, and if necessary respond to an attack; all of these spring forth from the attitude that you can truly protect yourself and stay safe even when you can't carry a firearm.
...Part of the reason I started that way was because I'd run into people who were actually fearful about going anywhere they couldn't have a gun on their hip, who avoided places where they couldn't be armed simply because they couldn't be armed.
